Waarom vroegtijdige toegang?

'Early Access serves as a critical phase to measure genuine interest in "Mycelium Guardians." Having developed this game from my bedroom, with feedback from friends and insights gained from showcasing at a gaming festival, the next step is to engage with a broader audience. This phase is not just about broadening our reach; it's about sustainability. With funds to support development confidently until around October, the success and feedback from Early Access are vital for us to continue refining and expanding the game beyond this point. Early Access is our invitation to you: to dive into the game's core, share your feedback, and participate in shaping its journey. Your input is invaluable, yet be assured, the vision and decision-making rest with us, aiming to blend our direction with your insights for a game we all aspire to see flourish.'

Hoelang blijft dit spel ongeveer in vroegtijdige toegang?

'I’m aiming for a full release by late-2024. However, the true scope of "Mycelium Guardians" is ambitious, and if the game finds its audience and flourishes, I plan to expand the world and its capabilities far beyond the initial release.'

Hoe gaat de volledige versie verschillen van de versie met vroegtijdige toegang?

'In the journey from Early Access to full release, we're excited to explore several potential enhancements for "Mycelium Guardians":

• Exploration and World Dynamics: Plans include enriching exploration with advanced spore mechanics and a dynamic map of interconnected ecosystems.
  
• Campaign and Lore: We're aiming to deepen the narrative with a campaign that brings the game's universe and stories to life.
  
• Expanded Biodiversity: Enhancing the game’s ecological variety with more plants, animals, and symbiotic relationships is a goal.
  
• Environmental Strategy: Introducing complex environmental challenges for strategic problem-solving is on our radar.
  
• AGI Interaction: We hope to deepen player interactions with the AGI antagonist, Will-E, enriching the game’s themes.
  
• Immersive Experience: Aiming to bolster the game's immersion through improved visuals and soundscapes.

These aspirations guide our development, but please remember, they are goals rather than promises. We’ll adapt based on feedback and progress, committed to transparency with our community.'

Wat is de huidige staat van de versie met vroegtijdige toegang?

'The Early Access version of 'Mycelium Guardians' features a narrative prologue that serves as a tutorial, available in both the demo and the Early Access release. This prologue introduces new players to our game world and the basics of gameplay. We recommend starting with the demo to get acquainted with these elements.

Currently, the sandbox mode in Early Access is basic, focusing on varying environmental conditions like smog, radiation, and water levels, although the ruins remain static. We encourage diving into Early Access if you’re interested in seeing how the game evolves and want to help shape its development through your feedback.

We are committed to regular and frequent updates to enhance and expand the game. Early adopters will not only see the game change with each update but also have a significant impact on its progression. Start with the demo to see if this experience is right for you.'

Zal het spel anders geprijsd worden tijdens en na vroegtijdige toegang?

'Yes, the price for "Mycelium Guardians" may change after Early Access, and we plan to involve you, the players, in deciding the final price. Through surveys and community feedback, we’ll work together to set a fair price that reflects the game's value and rewards early supporters.'
